The United Cities was ruled by the Council of Cities, a collection of the wealthiest and most influential men of each city. Usually only the richest ten citizens from each city were allowed to take part in the council. The choosing was not through election but by a tallying of the monetary worth of the aspirant, usually carried out by Traders Guild accountants. Every ten years a member of the council would be elected by simple majority to serve as Grand Secretary of the United Cities. The Grand Secretary had powers to represent the UC in foreign matters and trade negotiations. For the United Cities three hundred year existence the position was typically rotated, with no one city holding on to the position for consecutive terms.
